Ducks

A couple of mornings ago Shane noticed we had a couple of new visitors...a male and female duck.

















Meet the daddy duck, "Jack"















And the momma duck, "Jill"










The next day Shane discovered Jack and Jill decided to make a nest next to our pool. Here is the first egg she layed. She has since layed a couple more but she has covered them up so well I couldn't get a picture of them. So, looks like we might be sharing our pool this summer!


Hopefully the eggs will survive the stray cats and unusual environment. Shane has since pulled off the pool cover to give the ducks a nice area to swim (what a softie). Guess he doesn't mind cleaning duck poo out of the pool! I'll be sure to keep everyone updated on the exciting events until they hatch!
